PITTsBURG, June 14.-Detro.t won to-day's
game without any special effort. The Pitts
burgs' playing was listless. They seemed to
lose heart after the second inning, when he De-

put on second, but was not we'll. and made two
costly errors, one letting in two runs VIII en- he
had an opportunity to make q double play. The
redeeming feature of the home mines playing
was that of Kuehne and Miller the former max
ing a remarkable pick up and knocking out
single and a couple of two-base hits. The splen-
did fielding Of the Detroits kept down the score
of the Pittsburgs, notwithstanding Twitcheu
